Summer school
Dear friends,
I render my services for the Austral University, Ocupational Therapy school (from Valdivia city, south of Chile) to design and coordinate the summer school programme. It has several objetives.
• First, to serve our country with al our hearts and minds.
• Second, to work with, not for, persons with disabilities in an ethic fashion (following social justice, autonomy, beneficence and non malevolence principle).
• Third, to bring high quality comunity based assistance working with current local government programmes.
• Fourth, to bring high quality trainning to our students in a real enviroment, knowing each usuary by his/ hers name and working with them in their occupational space (house, workplace and so on)
The Summer School was held on Curacavi town, a country- side town. Our students work hard helping with daily life activities adaptations in our users homes.
The students organized a community festival with the participation of many organizations, even a biker organization called Amproch helped. all people enjoyed ridding motorcycles!!!.
Our students are ready for the winnter school, and the follow up of many small proyects carried out in Curacavi town. The local government participation was a key point to achieve the needed outcomes.
Carlos
